My Mom passed the DAY we started filming season five of #QueenSugar. @ava encouraged me to go to New York to be with my family, but I insisted on staying in New Orleans to see the season through. I was certain it would be a cathartic experience. And it was. The material allowed me to process not only the death of my Mother, but also, the genocide of my people. I took all my complicated emotions about 2020 and channeled them into meaningful, legacy work. This is— by far— my favorite season yet, and I hope you’ll tune in tonight to see why...
